About the Game

Synopsis

After the brutal crash of his spaceship, Milo, a little cosmonaut cat, wakes up alone on an unknown planet. His goal is simple: repair what is left of his ship and find a way to escape.

To do so, he will have to explore a strange world, mine precious resources, and gradually upgrade his equipment. Each expedition takes him farther, deeper, toward rare materials… and toward the secrets buried beneath the planet’s surface.

Gameplay

Explore an unknown planet alongside Milo and progress run after run through a loop that blends mining, automation, optimization, and resource management.

Each expedition is timed. You will have to decide what to mine, how far to venture, which resources to bring back first, and how to use them once you return to the outpost. Every run becomes an opportunity to experiment, improve your strategy, and prepare for a more efficient next attempt.

With the materials you collect, you will gradually unlock new machines capable of helping you mine, transform your resources, or automate certain steps. The game becomes more complex little by little, letting you discover its systems at your own pace without forcing you into a single way to progress.

Optimize your routes, organize your production, choose your priorities, and find your own method to reach the final objective. Whether you prefer to plan each run carefully, automate as much as possible, or progress in a more experimental way, multiple approaches can lead you to success.

The loop is easy to understand, but becomes richer and richer to master:
explore, mine, return, upgrade… then go farther again.
